The Princess and the Pirate

(1944)Directed by David Butler94 minComedy, Adventure
“Yo-Ho HOPE and a Cargo of Laughs!”

Somebody aboard her ship knows who she is, and Princess Margaret (Virginia Mayo) has been traveling in disguise to elope with the man she loves instead of marrying the one her father picked. Pirates attack at sea, fully aware of what she is worth, and David Butler puts Bob Hope's Sylvester the Great in the middle of it. Margaret now has to stay out of the hands of La Roche (Walter Slezak) and The Hook (Victor McLaglen), who plan to hold her for a king's ransom.
